Danish Kaneria mocks PCB’s head selector Shahid Afridi; tweets an image of him tampering ball
Najam Sethi, the newly appointed President of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), took some huge decisions after the sacking of former President Ramiz Raja. One of which was the selection of former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi as the chief selector of the selection committee ahead of the New Zealand series.
Afridi has also been joined by former cricketers in the form of Abdul Razzaq and Rao Ifthikar Anjum for the betterment of Pakistan Cricket, as they are currently after the hammer after some poor performances in the recent times.
Danish Kaneria trolls PCB selector Shahid Afridi
One of the most decorated players in Pakistan cricket, Afridi brings with him an aggressive mindset and plenty of experience of the highest level that could be useful in nurturing young talents. However, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria was not seen quite happy about this.
Taking out his frustration, Danish Kaneria tweeted a hilarious photo of Afridi where the later was seen biting the cricket ball. This famous incident dates back to a T20i match that was played between Pakistan and Australia at Perth. Afridi, in an attempt to alter the conditions, tried to bite the cricket ball. This created a lot of controversy and the cricketer was banned for two T-20I matches for ball tampering.
Nearly 1000 users have shared Kaneria’s tweet, which has gained a lot of attention on social media. Afridi, who announced his retirement from international cricket in 2017, will be under the pump to form a team that would provide stability and performances at the same time.
“I consider it an honor that the PCB Management Committee has given me this duty, and I will do all in my power to carry it out to the best of my ability. We need to resume our winning ways, and I am confident that by making merit-based and well-considered selections, we will assist the national team in giving a solid performance in the series against New Zealand and win back the support of our supporters “PCB cited him as having said.
